On a mission to strengthen patriotism across west Chatham County, American Legion Post 322 is organizing a color guard unit and visiting local churches, community clubs and public events with demonstrations of flag protocol from proper folding techniques to ultimate flag retirement.

"I have never seen these children as excited as they were folding the flag," said Goodlin. "These children will be the next generation of our government and we need to teach them respect and reverence for the symbols of freedom."

Post 322 has also conducted flag disposal ceremonies and provided speakers for local community organizations.
